Sorry for this rant, but after reading this forum for a few months I've noticed alot of scare tactics used against RPTVs concerning burn-in. Am I the only person on the planet who has never seen burn in on a RPTV other than at retail stores who keep loops running 24/7/365.
I've had 2 mitsubishi standard 4:3 RPTVs and a Hitachi 16:9 RPTV over the past 10 years. On the first two sets I did absolutely 0 setup, played video games, movies (with black bars no less!), and many other things that people here say will burn in your screen, for hours on end and paused game screens for hours also.
Either Im really lucky, or burn in is a non issue for about 90% of consumers and about 100% of knowledgeable avs users. Does anyone have any proof of burn-in or how long it takes with what types of images/static bugs etc... I noticed in the AV Gaming forum that people were posting about games burning in your screen in less than 15 minutes! This is absolute crap, and can't believe such information isn't disposed of on a forum like this. I believe some sort of evidence is in order if people are just going to throw around burn-in issues like RPTVs are the devil for anyone wishing to play games.
